CHICAGO — Four men were hospitalized after a shooting in the Little Village neighborhood.

About 11:15 p.m. Monday, the four men, ages 18 to 38, were standing on the sidewalk in the 3400 block of West 24th Street when a gunman began shooting from the mouth of a nearby alley, said Officer Amina Greer, a Chicago Police spokeswoman.

All four men were taken to area hospitals where their conditions stabilized, Greer said. An 18-year-old was shot in the buttocks and taken to John H. Stroger Hospital. A 38-year-old was shot in the right thigh and was taken to Stroger Hospital.

A 26-year-old was also taken to Stroger Hospital where he was treated for a graze wound in the head. Another 26-year-old was shot in the buttocks and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, police said.

Police said the shooting appeared gang-related, but no one was in custody as of Tuesday morning. After the shooting, the gunman got into a dark-colored sedan and drove eastbound on West 24th Street.
